VB connection with Oracle 8i

Hi
Im trying to connect VB with Oracle 8i on a Windows 98 platform standalone.
I have the following queries that I tried hard to solve.
1. I'm cant understand what connection string do I have to put for the Oracle database
2. How do I create a new database for the Oracle server.
3. How do I configure the listener and naming methods as I tried hard to configure them with Net8 but it constantly asks for the service name, even the default service name doesnt work.
I would be very grateful if somebody out there helps me as I am urgently in need of knowing these things.
Thanx
Anil Anil,
1.you gotta first create a service/startan instance/do it with the database asst./customize your creation and create the database. thru net8. define the connection string but chose bequeth as it's a standalone database.Since you're the boss , define the internal account yourself(the assist asks you for all the info). then create a user and profile which will match your vb application needs. go on to import all the vb data into oracle in this new user say "anil" (you can do that thru datamanager on 8 and dbastudio i think on 8i or thru dos prompt)import all the data in dos/imp8x or with gui of dba studio.create a tblspc/rbs etc as the normal database creation reqmts. and you're ready to access you vb thru oracle(oh ja configure the odbc as well,..).
I hope this helps.

1. Is the connection url correct?
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@PLANET:1521:ORCL" is fine.
2. Is the TNS listener started?
c:\oracle\product\ora10\bin> lsnrctl status
3. Is a firewall between client and database server?
Connection url with firewall would be different.

Cannot establish connection with Oracle database

Hello
This is the first time I use BOE server with Crystal Report to execute some tests, and one issue is blocking me now, and I am not even sure if this is the right Forum where I should post it.
I installed BOE server XI 3.1 SP4 on Linux machine (new installation), and then I uploaded some existing Crystal Report templates that are working fine on another BOE server. Those CR templates have to establish a connection with a remote Oracle database to get the data, and we pass all credentials for this purpose.
The first time I run my first test I received this error that I could not find anywhere on the web :
ErrorLog 2011 8 10 7:05:52.505 14215 356 (Administrator:82) (../reporthandler.cpp:12462): CReportHandler::buildReportViewerError: CSResultExceFailed to open the connection." FileName:"../reporthandler.cpp" LineNum:12458 ErrorCode:756 ErrorMsg:"Failed to open the connection.
{FBAD55EE-BEAF-11E0-BC1C-005056813A72}.rpt" DetailedErrorMsg:""
I believe that the CR was not able to establish the connection with Oracle, so I install Oracle Client on the same machine (test remote connection ==> pass), I set the ORACLE_HOME variable, and I edit the file <installation_home>/ bobje/java/CRConfig.xml to add the path to ojdbc14.jar, and finnaly restart the tomcat server. However I am still getting the same error message.
Is there any hint that can help me troubleshooting this issue?
Thank you

do the reports use native oracle connectivity or JDBC ?
what version of Oracle client did you install ?
was it 32bit or 64bit client ?
what your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable set to ?
what does it say in the CMC when you look at CR report's DB properties ?

HalHi Hal. All that seems fine, as it should be. Tell me how you

The network adapter could not establish the connection with Oracle

I installed Oracle in my laptop (windows 2008), and install Hyperion 11.1.2, when I configure Hyperion, it pops up with "the network adapter could not establish the connection with Oracle"?

Hi,
This usually means that the connection details you have put in for Oracle are incorrect or Oracle can not be contacted.
Double check your configuration connection details and make sure you can access Oracle using them details.
Cheers

Forms 6i is not connecting with Oracle 11g database?

Forms 6i is not connecting with Oracle 11g database?
How to resolve this issue?

Hi,
Once you installed the Forms and Reports, you need to configure the paramters like tnsnames.ora in you path.
There will be one folder in the Installation path of Forms and Reports search for tnsnames.ora file..and you need to Updated the file as per the which ORACLE Server you are connecting and then try.. it..
Default path for forms will be "ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin".. search for tnsnames.ora and modify it..

Exmpl of Servlet connect with ORacle

Hi folks,
Can anyone send me example of Java Servlet connectivity with Oracle.
i m not able to connect servlet with oracle.
u guys can reply me on [email protected]
thanks
dal hit

No.
The code for connecting to Oracle from a Servlet is no different from connecting to Oracle from any other Java application. So tell you what, you show us what you've tried and the error message(s) and we'll help you debug it.
99.999% of the time it's a failure to put the driver Jar file into the classpath, the specifics of which vary from application server to application server. Which one are you using?
u guys can reply me on [email protected]
We can, but we won't. This is not your personal bugfixing service. Pay if you want that kind of help. If you want it for free, do it through the forums or go away.
Probably you'll never read this response, but that's your problem not mine.

"stack overflow" when trying to connect with Oracle ODBC

Hi,
I'm trying to connect to Oracle DB (8.1.7.3.0) from WinNT 4.0 SP6 with Oracle ODBC driver 8.0.6.6.0. I've been trying to connect with "Oracle ODBC Test" and with "MS Query". In either way I end up with Dr. Watson reporting about "stack overflow". Before starting to upgrade ODBC driver I wanted to ask - should these versions of driver and DB work together at all (even unofficially)? Or may I be missing some other thing? Any hints, ideas are welcome.
Regards,
Madis Priilinn

Thank You for replying, Justin!
Yes, I can connect successfully to the database through other tools - at the moment I tried SQL*Plus, Net8 Easy Config and Schema Manager.
The Oracle client in the NT machine is 8.0.5.0.0. And unfortunately I do not know anything about the Oracle installation on this machine and at the moment I don't have that person near me too whom to ask also. But I think the installation was ok, because the connection through ODBC was working before the DB upgrade as far as I understood (sorry, again at the moment I don't know what was the previous version of DB. I will ask that information as soon as possible).
The main problem that bothers me at the moment is that I can't install 8.1.* series OraODBC driver with 8.0.5.0.0 Oracle Installer. I managed to install 8.0.6.6.0 version of the driver, but not the newer ones. As far as I've understood I have to upgrade the whole Oracle in the NT machine to upgrade that installer. Am I correct?

JDBC for JDK1.1 connection with Oracle 8.0.5

I have a client running Oracle 8.0.5 on an NT machine. I have downloaded the 8.0.5 OCI8 and thin JDBC from Oracle web site.
Using the JdbcChecker.java sample code, I am unable to make a connection to the Oracle DB. I tested JDK1.1.8 with the new jdbc and also with the jdbc that originally came with Oracle (orant\jdbc\lib) but to no avail. I tested JDK1.2.2 with the 8.1.5 jdbc, also no luck. I compiled and ran the code each time, using
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@" + database, username, password);
where database is a.b.c.d:port_no:sid
The error that came out for jdk1.1.8 was:
(after printing out 'connecting...')
java.sql.SQLException: Refused: ROR=(CODE=12505) (EMFI=4)))) ....
Is there a daemon or something that is not running? I am new to Oracle but not to jdbc. My client has used Oracle a lot but not doing any java programming with it.
What am I missing here?
Thanks.

Could you verify that the listener for the database is configured properly and that it is running?

Not able to connect with Oracle server through VBScript without DSN

Hi
I have both Oracle9i and Oracle10g clients installed with local system.
I am able to connect to Oracle Database 11g Enterprise edition server though sqlplus through command prompt and also through AQT without any error.
As the server has lots of database ,whenever I connect to a particular database through sqlplus from command prompt,I connect as below
C:>sqlplus username/password@service_name
and it gets connected without any error.
When I am trying to connect the same database through VB Script,I am getting ORA-12560 TNS:Protocol Adaptor Error.
Below is the connection string I am using:
Database_String = "SERVER=xxxx.vvvn.Com;Driver={Oracle in OraHome92};DATABASE=service_name;user id=userid; password=passowrd"
I have installed a Oracle10g server in my local system and tried to connect the same way and I was successfully ,but its not working when the server is running remotely.
Does it make any difference with the version of driver being used ?Should I need to modify my connection string anyway.
Please help me as to identify the issue.Thank you very much in advance.
Regards
Sahina

check the listener status in server end,
lsnrctl status

path d:\jdk\lib;d:\jdk\bin;c:\windows\command;C:\temp\BIN;c:\temp\jdbc\lib\classes111.zipYou've added classes111.zip to your PATH, not your CLASSPATH.
Add it to your CLASSPATH using:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\temp\jdbc\lib\classes111.zip
then try to compile/run again.
